MILK SUPPLY DEVELOPMENT UNIT

Dairibord has invested in a Milk Supply Development Unit to
support national raw milk production growth through:

  • Funding support – Partnerships with financial institutions
    for out grower schemes.
  • Heifer schemes and artificial insemination programs.
  • Technical and veterinary support.
  • Feed formulation and nutrition support.
  • Input procurement support.
  • Sustainability and alternative energy.
  • Training.
  • Enhancement of milk transportation through partnerships
    with stakeholders such as Mobility for Africa for small
    scale farmers.

Growth of raw milk production is an opportunity for import
substitution of milk powders.

SMALL SCALE DAIRY FARMING

We are committed to the development of small-scale farmers for participation in national raw milk production. This allows the farmers to earn an income and promotes nutrition.

The company has over 480 small- scale farmers, of which 40% are women, and 13 milk collection centres around the country.

Small scale farmers currently supply 3% of the company’s raw milk intake. Target is to double the output with increased support.
